Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation and that a valid employer-employee relationship would exist. The AAO noted a discrepancy between the job duties described, which resembled a 'Software Developer, Applications', and the filed Labor Condition Application (LCA), which designated the role as a lower-level 'Computer Programmer'. This inconsistency undermined the claim that the position required a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
